    I didn't measure voltage "across" the ignitor, just how much was going to it. Just get a multi meter and measure the voltage going to the ignitor. I measured where the positive wire for the ignitor is connected to the coil, as this is also where the coil takes it's power from the ignition...

    What size anti-sway bar to use

    The hot ticket would be if you had an adjustable front sway bar. It's all about being able to tune the suspension. As far as size and stiffness (insert Viagra joke here) the stiffness is a function of the diamater of the bar to the 4th power: Stiffness=D<sup>4</sup> Example: A...

    I used to run my Ignitor with the resistor wire. While it did run better than with the points, it had a harder time starting. One day I decided to put my handy dandy Fluke meter to use and I found out that I was only getting 4 volts to the Ignitor at idle. I dumped the resistor wire and...

    Restore mustang in 1 week

    I highly doubt that they didn't know what car they were going to restore before it actually showed up at the shop. Plus, from the TV commercials, it looks like Chip Foose is doing the work on the car. With Chip involved, ANYTHING is possible.

    An apology from Historic.

    Oh come on! I promise to stay at a Holiday Inn Express the night before.

    An apology from Historic.

    Forget Boris, I'll drive your cars for a lot less money. :D I can drive it, fly it, sail it, surf it, ski it, ride it, crash it, burn it, brake it, and totall it as well, if not better than the next guy, though Boris may be a little faster than me. ;)

    (Tech) Tell me about camber

    Like I said, scrub radius :D (except without the detailed definition and diagram)

    (Tech) Tell me about camber

    By changing the wheels, you may have affected the scrub radius due to the back spacing. This will make the car drive different than before.

    An apology from Historic.

    Maybe that's because the rules do not allow the use of said parts.

    notching an intake?

    Not necessarily. The Air Gap and the RPM are the same height only for the 289-302. For a 351W, the Air Gap is almost an inch taller.

    notching an intake?

    That's my guess. Best thing to do is try emailing Edelbrock. Ask them if you were to notch your intake like the RPM, would there be any benifit.

    notching an intake?

    Actually, the Performer is a dual plane. The Torker and Victor Jr. are single plane. 68RustBucket, I'm guessing that you have a 289 or 302. Check out Edelbrock's web site for the different styles. Even if you were to completely remove the center divider, it would not be a true single plane...

    talk me into or out of buying a Randalls rack -

    Seriously, if he can get them even near that price, I'd be interested in a set as well. Let us know. Sebastien

    TCP out of business? Is it true?

    When was the last time you talked to your source? Reason I ask is I received a phone call this morning that TCP was done. While my source (I hate this my source vs your source crap, but we must protect the identity of those involved or else those black helicopters will start circling overhead...

    Total Control Products, where to buy?

    TCP is done I just got a phone call and appearently, TCP closed its doors today. Not like the writing wasn't already on the wall. It's really too bad, as they did offer some good products. If you ordered something from them by credit card and have already been charged but have not received...

    Mustang II conversion

    First off, I spoke with someone who is infinitely more experienced in this area than I am. Essentially, we do not know all of the variables in order to correctly calculate dynamic camber change. In short, this is what he said: With that said, all the numbers regarding camber in this thread are...

    Mustang II conversion

    We all agree, as the suspension travels in jounce, due to the shorter upper control arm, negative camber is produced. That is not the issue at hand. The issue is the claim that body roll increases negative camber on the outside wheel. Can anyone address this comment I made in my previous...

    Mustang II conversion

    I'm really interested in knowing what kind of suspension will produce additional negative camber on the outside wheel when the body rolls. Just so you know, I wasn't just referring to the Mustang suspension. Just about all suspensions produce positive camber with body roll. But since you have...

    Mustang II conversion

    Let me explain why the tire does roll with the car. When a car leans, where does the outside upper control arm move in relation to the lower control arm? As the body leans, the outside upper control arm moves outward. The lower control arm moves as well, but since it it mounted lower, body...

    Mustang II conversion

    What software are you getting these numbers from? The reason I ask is normally, when a car rolls, the tires usually roll with the car. In other words, when your car rolls left, the left tire rolls left as well, developing positive camber in relation to the ground. Also, you do not always...
